Document Summary
One approach gets at the narrative better than the other. Speak to both perspectives you work with: why you choose this one (why it"s better, can also call bullshit on it. Assume reader hasn"t seen the film: what"s going on, how you think war is being narrative (how it"s described, pull on things from the film, don"t just have a film review. Imperialism: takes marxism on it"s own terms. Limited admission: don"t have much to say (liberalism) Idealism: conclusions about the causes of war lead to propositions about how we might therefore preserve the peace; no complete causal explanation of peace. 19th century balance of power: alliances, in flex war pln. Structure causes of war: difference is how they come into debate. Is independent methods: only derive from causal explanation from war, negative account of peace, realist thinks idealist ask all questions.
